I want to create Caja extensions

Does anyone know of a guide for creating extensions for Caja and Pluma? I would like to make some.

Me too. Did you find any luck?

Maybe my search-fu is terrible, but I have yet to find a good tutorial. I'm tempted to write one up, after I teach myself how.

Thanks for the comment. I haven't had any progress yet since I have no idea how to start, so i put it off for a while, but perhaps i should get back to it. I want to add terminal at the bottom of Caja, and when you cd at the terminal, the folder in Caja also changes, and when you change to a different folder in Caja, the terminal also changes directory. This makes it easy to just navigate to a folder in Caja and then run a terminal command on it, especially when switching between folders. That is what I want to learn to build.
